With these two primary advantages of the SiPM over the PMT, the SiPM could be a suitable replacement as the leading photon detector in particle physics.

While the SiPM has certain advantages over the PMT, it must also be clear that it can perform acceptably in situations where the PMT excels. One such attribute is the PMT's resistance to temperature. The PMT performs at the same rate at almost any temperature as long as the materials used to make it don't melt. In contrast, the semi conducting material used to make the SiPM depends heavily on the temperature that it operates at. A higher temperature will result in a much higher

While the SiPM has certain advantages over the PMT, it must also be clear that it can perform acceptably in situations where the PMT excels. One such attribute is the PMT's resistance to temperature. The PMT performs at the same rate at almost any temperature as long as it don't melt. In contrast, the semi conducting material used to make the SiPM depends heavily on the temperature that it operates at. A higher temperature will make the SiPM much more likely to produce a pulse, and in consequence, have many more false detections. The rate of these false detections, when occur due to the presence of thermal energy in the SiPM, is called Dark Rate.
